EMERSE Training

EMERSE (Electronic Medical Record Search Engine) allows users to search free text (unstructured) clinical notes from the electronic health record (EHR). It can be thought of like “Google” for clinical notes. The tool was developed at the University of Michigan in 2005; UNC-Chapel Hill launched EMERSE in October 2017. EMERSE can support a variety of tasks, including clinical and translational research, internal quality improvement and quality assurance initiatives, as well as hospital operational support tasks.

EMERSE contains fully identified clinical notes from UNC Health Care. All data in EMERSE are considered protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA and should be treated as such. Here at UNC, EMERSE has tens of millions of documents, sourced from the Epic electronic health record.
